I was letting the rams out to the pasture this morning and Elsie, who usually waits by my side for her turn pushed me aside and blasted through the gate. I was NOT going to let her out because she is very pregnant and I wanted to keep her close to home. I ran after her and tried to catch her, but she was not having any of it and ran into the bushes. I gave up and went out a few hours later but could not find her.

I started looking for her at 5 30 this evening and covered the entire farm corner to corner and back. Then I phoned my friends who have a quad but it was getting dark by then. They still came and ran it through the bush where she often stays, but we could not find her. I was worked about the coyotes and the calf, but there are the other cows in that area and depending on where she is, the dogs would not let anything near her. The problem is, if she is further away at the south or east ends of the property, they may not protect her.

Elsie, I sure hope you are safe and if you had your baby, she is safe and sound and well shielded from danger. Protect my Elsie and the baby, Creator and bring them home safely tomorrow. Please.
